Any USB v2.0 CF reader.

The SanDisk 6 -in- 1 and the 8 -in- 1 both read CF and SD cards and are USB v2.0.

No Go Just got an email from Sandisk. Q2 for the highspeed reader. Seems
like current readers only support extreme II not III

This would be an important factor for me, because I currently
use a SCSI-interfaced PCMCIA reader in my Sun workstation, with (as it
turns out) the Sandisk "CompactFlash PC Card Adaptor". (I've got other
brands, which I have not yet tried in this device, but I suspect that
there is little difference between them. I suspect that they are simply
mounting for the flash card and the connectors at each end.)

It works fine with anything from the 8MB card which came with my
original Nikon CoolPix 950 up through the Lexar 1GB 80X cards which I am
currently using.

Yes -- the transfer is perhaps not as fast as a USB-2 reader on
the Windows box -- but the Windows box takes longer counting the fact
that I have to boot it (the unix boxen are up 24/7), download the
images, and then transfer them over the net to the unix boxen where I
work on them.

Interesting.

Enjoy,
